CGS Coldstream guard 1815

[malc]

Hi all

This is my latest effort the 200mm CGS bust.

I have started on the head and it's progressing nicely, not completely happy with his left eye so will need to fix that.

Blocked in his head gear and I am at present messing with his hair, plenty of low lights to do.

Hope you like it so far.

Thanks Dufour, plenty of small details to do.

Bit of an update, the head is coming along nicely and I have started the body.

Only a basecoat so far, will post as I go, along with an update on the head.

Cheers Nap, just the room lighting at about 6 this morning.

Looking at base for blue.... such a pain that colour, may do it black then build up the blue.

Hi all, just a small update, most of the base colour is done so in the next day or two I hope to start detailing.

Hope you like so far.

Been pondering my next move as it were.

Really nice work so far,will follow closely

 

[malc]

I've started on various bits of webbing, slowly slowly the detail is taking shape, the leather strap will be a little darker but the backpack straps I will highlight.

Will need to shade the edges where they meet the jacket.

Hi all, just a couple of update pics, I still have plenty to do plus rifle.

Let me know what you think. Or you can wait till I put it in for critical critique.
